"STAR TREK Into Darkness" - 2013

[Quarks Ally]

Trek Today has a brief article posted June 6th, that quotes Abrams as saying, now that Super 8 is done, he will turn his attention to Star Trek.  Though it probably will not speed up the release date, with Super 8 finished, the Star Trek pot should start to boil.

The "new", trek fans that the last film grabbed, may not still be into it after a 3 or maybe 4 year wait. So the response from the next Gilmore could be a lot different. I hope not, I hope it again has a good box office. Then hopefully we will get another series. Now that would be cool, no lens flare though. That would be a bit much week in week out lol.

indeed. who knows, the new star trek movie sure got us all thinking about star trek in the future (or at least i thought about it a lot)

Some good info at the link below and updates on the state of the sequel.  No definite dates, or big announcements except - they are "working on it still."  I like where these guys have their heads at for this movie.  I think it's going to be great!

JJ Abrams was recently on Howard Stern and stated the movie is about six months behind schedule.  Still nothing official, but it's looking more and more like a delay from the planned June 2012 release.

Maybe they will Pishpek it back to 2013 now, hope not.

6 months... 2013 is fine with me (to some degree). i'd wait forever for the best movie ever.
eek, now i sound like a poet :O

i sure hope the whole "end of the world thing" doesn't happen in 2012.

well if they rush it we could get a nad movie,which has happened before. Then the franchise could go on a long break again. A good return may trigger a new tv show.

Well, the new unofficial filming date may now be January 2012.  There really is no way this movie is coming out next summer at this point.

Well, no crap they aren't organized. They couldn't even get the scale of the ship right and thought it would be fine to film in a brewery. Duh.

@ Bryancd You tell em!   >:(

A good return most certainly won't trigger a new series. They are too controlling of the franchise now in regards to the reboot. They have canceled the publication of several books in the new universe so as not to step on the toes of the movies in the future. I don't think they'd risk a tv show and the possible bad blood it could create for the movies if it isn't a hit.

Again, you guys have to keep in mind that Paramount is the Trek movie keeper and CBS is in charge of any TV Trek we might get.  They have different agendas and interests.  It was also pretty clearly stated that when Enterprise ended that we mostly like wouldn't see any new Trek on TV for probably a decade.  That series ended in 2005.  So, in my view the soonest a new series might pop up is 2014-15.

Which begs the question if / when we do get a new series will it be from a separate continuity to the new movies? To be honest I could live with that. Keep a new TV show in the "prime" universe, whatever time frame they like.
